Phrase used during the game Brexit football to indicate that a tackle which would normally be illegal under the rules of Association Football is either about to occur or in the process of occurring.
"Brexit means Brexit!"
"Aaaargh... Lad, you've broke me arm!"
"play on!"
A variant of football played by children on Merseyside. The rules are generally the same as association football, offside rule excepted. However, violent and dangerous tackles, which would usually be adjudged fouls, are allowed if the tackling player shouts "Brexit means Brexit" before or during the tackle. Shouts after the tackle are sometimes adjudicated to be fouls. The game takes its name from Boris Johnson's attempted tackle on Maurizio Gaudino during the England v Germany legends match in 2006.
"The school had to ban Brexit football after a kid in year 9 got his collar bone broken. Terrible business."
"I know, the lad who tackled him didn't even shout "Brexit means Brexit" so it was a free kick anyway."
